In contrast, netcat seems to need scripts to be written to spawn processes when connections are made and is altogether more complicated for this task than socat. If it weren't for the pointers to netcat I'd not have found it, though, so thanks again all!
We did have a chat about that in IRC and it was pointed out that Netcat might not be able to make to do it without a script. At least it was some help in enabling you to find socat ;)
